Information
Old Fashioned Tour
Ratings
Rankings for the Old Fashioned Tour will be based on five key metrics, each rated on a 10 point scale.
- Presentation / Appearance - How appealing does the drink look?
- Fragrance / Aroma - How good does it smell?
- First Sip - How good does it taste?
- Balance - How well balanced is the cocktail?
- Halfway Sip - How good does it taste now that youre part way through?
In addition to these metrics, we are also gathering the following information.
- Liquor Choice - What liquor was used for the cocktail. Ideally we get the exact name of the bottle used. Francis and Zach will take point on getting this info.
- Price (Non-Well)
- Name of drink (Non-Well) - If this was a specialty or named cocktail, what was it’s name?
- Creativity (Non-Well) - If this was a specialty or named cocktail, how creative was it?
- Would you order it again? - Yes or No
Non-Well old fashioneds are any specailty or named old fashioneds from the menu that we order.
T-Shirts
We will be doing custom t-shirts for the old fashioned tour similar to those that we did for the wing tour.
- These will be band style tour shirts with the locations and dates on the back of them along with a logo for the tour at the top.
- The front of the shirt will also have a tour specific logo on the left breast.
If you have an idea for the shirt, please submit it using the “Submit a Shirt Idea” link above.
Awards
In additon to the tour shirts, we will be giving away awards to those that meet certain requirements over the course of this tour.
The actual rewards for these categories will be anounced closer to the end of the tour
Award Categories
